Answer:

false

Explanation:

warm air goes up and cold air sinks, imagine a hot air balloon and how it works, the fire releases the warm air into the balloon itself and rises on how much fire is released.

A sample of air was collected on a day when the total atmosphere pressure was

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.

2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg

Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?

The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ

592 = 261 + Pₙ

Collect like terms

592 – 261 = Pₙ

331 = Pₙ

Pₙ = 331 mmHg

Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.

Now balance the charge.

The given chemical reaction is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-$

First balance the main element in the reaction.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-$

Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}+2e^-$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

The charges are not balanced. Now multiplying oxidation reaction by 3 and then adding both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : $3Sb^{3+}\rightarrow 3Sb^{5+}+6e^-$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients = 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3

The sum of the coefficients = 17

Benzene would react_____________.

Vlada [557]

Answer: Benzene is less reactive than methylbenzoate and more reactive than Nitrobenzene

Explanation:

This is because the methyl group on the benzene ring is an electron donating group leading to the activation of the ring and subsequently leading to more canonical resonance structure at the intermediate stage of the reaction enhancing the faster reactivity

However for the Nitrobenzene the nitro group is an electron withdrawing group leading to a slower activation and less resonance canonical structure at the reaction intermediate leading to a slower reaction than the reaction of benzene without the nitro group
